Scunthorpe United have announced the signing of New Zealand international Clayton Lewis.

Lewis joins Glanford Park on a three-year deal after he departed Auckland City this summer.

Lewis had an eye-catching season at Auckland City last campaign, as he scored 11 goals and adding 13 assists helping guide his side to win the regular season, as they finished second in the playoffs, losing 2-1 to his former club Team Wellington in the Grand Final.

Capped at 10 times with New Zealand, he made his debut for the All Whites in 2015, as he featured in a loss against South Korea and also featured several times for the side in the Confederations Cup this past summer.

The 20-year-old becomes Scunthorpe United’s fifth ever New Zealand-born player after Jason Batty, Perry Cotton, David Mulligan and Rory Fallon.

Lewis has opted to take the number 15 jersey, last worn by Norwich City loanee Harry Toffolo.

The deal is subject to international clearance and league ratification.
